~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Ginger999]

Dill, I'm not sure their status, actually. I just no they don't drink. Hmmm. Now I'm curious! If the topic ever comes up, ill be honest.

Calling hubby's ortho doc that did his knee today. Can't hurt to get a second opinion, right?

Waves to everyone. I'll take another day of freedom!

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

I like that Jude, a grateful recovering alcoholic.

It's great you have group of non-drinking friends Ginger, a lot easier to socialize without alcohol being present. Good call on going to see Mr G's ortho doc, never hurst to have more than one opinion or diagnosis.

We ended up with only about 3 - 4" of snow Rava but it was wet and heavy and with the ice underneath it all from the freezing rain it was almost impossible to shovel it so I used the snowblower.

[Jude58]

Ginger, I'm glad that you are getting a second opinion about your knee. Hopefully the new doc will find a way to fix the knee so that it's good as new.

I'm in for another 24...

Ginger, like the others, I think it's good thinking that you are going to see Mr. G's ortho doc. Hope you can get in soon.

Over the years I had two main groups of friends I had developed. One set were diehard drinkers, and the other set were nondrinkers. While I had been brainwashed by society that drinking made things more fun, I relearned through my nondrinking set of friends that that was absolutely not the case. I had some of my very best fun times with those ladies and sometimes we laughed so hard it almost hurt! I'm grateful I lived those two realities side by side. Thinking about it now I realize that it helped me be able to make my transition to healthy living.

Waves to all. 24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good Morning Cafe. Dill, I like what you said about comparing both sets of friends. I dont have any non drinking friends here in FL. Everyone drinks. I am lucky that Mr. R does not drink. My resolve to stay sober is much harder in FL than up north. Cowboy, I am glad you have a snowblower and didnt have to break your back on wet snow. Ginger, glad you are getting a second opinion! That can never hurt. Looking forward to hearing what the second doctor recommends. Hi to Jude and Mul. Hope everyone has a safe and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Hmmm, I don't think I have any friends that are non-drinkers, but the friends I do have aren't bothered by the fact that I don't drink. All the events at the Senior's Center are alcohol free and everyone seems to enjoy themselves anyway, I know Bubba and I do.

[Ginger999]

Well, hubby's doc may not see me. They are checking with him before they make an appointment. Apparently, he doesn't like to mess with people that have had recent surgery. The scheduler couldn't explain why. Now I wait. I'll just keep doing what I can for now.

Grateful to be here with all of you! I'll take another day of freedom!

Hmmm, I don't think I have any friends that are non-drinkers, but the friends I do have aren't bothered by the fact that I don't drink,

Same for me. It also really helps that most of my friends have families and kids and whatnot now, and our hard drinkig/partyng days are behind us. To be honest, it would have been a lot harder to quit back in those days, as it would have always felt like I was missing out. But with everyone in the same boat now, more or less, it makes it so much easier.

Enjoying another little blast of beautiful sunny weather here (until what looks like a week or two of straight rain starts on Thursday) !

[Jude58]

Geez Ginger, I sure hope that the ortho doc changes his mind about seeing you. It seems as though the medical world is getting more complicated everyday, and not in a good way.

Now that I'm in AA and MWO I have a lot of non-drinking friends. Mr. J drinks and there is always beer in the fridge, which I am able to resist so far, but sometimes it's a challenge not to crack one open. I don't ever want to go down that rabbit hole again.

We're supposed to get buckets of rain and lots of wind today. Yuck!

24 more for all of us please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, I hope that doctor changes his mind. He doesn't want to step on the other doctor’s toes I guess. Jude, sounds like a super crappy day is coming your way. Hope you manage to do something fun in spite of the rain and wind. We are traveling to see our daughter and granddaughter today until Friday. Staying in a nearby hotel. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Safe trip and have fun with the family Rava!

Not much on my agenda today, we had a bit of snow overnight but the leaf blower will take care of it easy enough.

Waves to the rest of the gang...

[Ginger999]

Doc office called yesterday and said he'd see me. My appt is next week. What!!!! It took four months for me to get an appt back home. Crazy what living a half hour from Phoenix gets you. Haha

Sounds pretty weathery out there for most of ya'll. Rava, enjoy your visit. Waves to all I'll take another day of freedom!
